Takes forever to take multiple pictures

I about ready to throw my camera away. Whenever I take a picture, it will save it and then the screen will go black for about 10-15 seconds before, it comes back on and allows me to take another picture. Has anyone else had this problem?
Also, what setting do I need to have it on, so the camera will just take the damn picture...with 1 flash, etc. All these delays are driving me crazy. By the time it finished flashing (3 times) I didn't even get a picture of what I wanted.

My camera has different "modes" and if I put it in the "action" mode it seems to work more quickly between pics. There should also be a setting to change how long the pictures is displayed after taking, if you shorten that it will recover quicker to allow the next picture taking.

Set camera on playback mode, you will see any saved picture in internal memory. Insert memory card and lcd screen will show you either blue screen if memory card has no picture files or will show you picture in memory card. That means memory card is intact with camera and ready to store fresh picture.Set camera to camera mode and take few fresh pictures and check them in playback mode.Let me know if you have additional question.Thanks.

One or two seconds are nothing if you have configured your camera to take large pics. It also depends on the speed of the memory card. What happens is that the camera has to save the pic before it is shown ready for the next one. The larger the pic (pixels) the longer it would take to be ready for the next pic.

Format memory stick through Format option in camera Menu.Please note that all data on memory stick will be deleted by formatting it and memory stick will be refreshed.Now take pictures and check does camera saves/ store.Thanks.

when it "freezes" it's usually just taken a picture (easy to accidentally press the shutter) and is showing it to you--press save (left function) or erase (right) then is ready for another--can tell because the picture is moving as you move the phone

Before a digital camera is ready to take a picture, the electronics inside the camera must get ready to capture the picture and save it to the memory card or the internal camera memory.
Press the shutter button half-way (to its first detent) to set the exposure and focus. When the ready light is green, continue pressing the shutter button completely down to take the picture. The picture is taken almost immediately.
